ABOUT THE JOB:

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to

build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. SRE

ensures that Google Cloud's services—both our internally critical and our

externally-visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer's

needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally SRE’s will keep an

ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance.

Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems,

building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation. On the SRE

team, you’ll have the opportunity to manage the complex challenges of scale

which are unique to Google Cloud, while using your expertise in coding,

algorithms, complexity analysis and large-scale system design. SRE's culture of

intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our

organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds,

experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and

take risks in a blame-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on

meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides

the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.

In this role, you will focus on the reliability, accuracy, and timeliness of

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) billing systems and mission-critical APIs. Our

charter is expanding to include more Google Cloud Billing and Payment (GCBP)

services while driving AI adoption and tooling improvements across Google Cloud.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,

experience, and relevant education or training.
